How Does Follett RIDE® Technology Work?
Many Follett machines feature RIDE® (Remote Ice Delivery Equipment) technology, which lets ice travel through a tube into a separate bin or dispenser.
As Follett Account Specialist Dan Glimm explains, "The RIDE system allows you to install the ice machine up to 75 feet away from the dispenser, removing heat and noise from the customer area."
What Should You Know Before Buying a Follett Ice Bin?
When purchasing a Follett ice bin, operators must specify the compatible ice machine at the time of order. The opening where the ice machine connects to the bin must be cut at the factory for proper installation.
